OF course there is no probability Of the
election of Republican. Republicans IN

and no Republican who gives the matter
a second thought will desire 1t. The Peo-

His Head Split,

] A well-dressed man, found recently on tht 1 corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty y-sixtl 1 street in semi-uneonscious condition, wal 1 taken to the Thzrtieth precinct police station
 and was about being placed in cell wher his appearance attracted the attention of the captain, who recognized him as 8 prominent business man on Broadway. The ambulance wagon when sent for at once pronounced him perfectly sober, but suffering from severe l attack of migraine or sick headache, produ- cing a stupefed condition.
 So severe a tax is made upon the brain oi the average man and woman nowadays that nervous diseases, especially headache, sleep lessness and nervous prostration and debility, are become alarmingly common.
 As in great political and other crises a leader or savior seems opportunely to be born of the times, so here, nature, seeming to
 have anticipated the prevalence of diseases and weaknesses of the brain and nerves, has given to us potent remedy-not only an al- leviative, but genuine restorative and reju- venant, vegetable, harmless, yet powerful and effective.
 We refer of course to Dr. Buckland's Es- sence of Scotch Oats, for in the kernel of this common grain has been found by mod ern chemistry principle more powerful than opium, yet harmless and in every sense 8 nerve food and brain tonic.
 Not the kind of nerve food that is sold over soda fountain counters or in candy SbOf6SJ Dub a SSuuIno u0utCd1 04eEAct tuhb Ahs the endorsement of over three hundred of our best physicians after extended trials.
 The oat kernel contains "Avenesca," the nerve tonic; Soluble Oats Phosphoids," the most concentrated form of brain and nerve food; and "Boskine," that acts as a gentle laxative and stomach sweetener. It is the greatest of all nerve remedies It does away with the dangerous narcotics and stimulants.
 In the past twelve months the Scotch Oats Essence Co.,, 174 Fulton street, have issued five million copies of their free book on brain and nerve diseases, and have shipped to druggists an average of sixty gross of the Oats Essence week. Persons who once use it, and know good thing when they see it, never forget it. It is but few days since that twenty gross was shipped to Honolulu and fifty gross to England.
 If yeur head is splitting from headache or neuralgia, or if you are suffering from any form of nervous disease or debility, try it, New York paper.
